Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by rinsing 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 cup of water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes.
- While the rice cooks, season 1 pound of chicken with salt and pepper. In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of minced ginger. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and let simmer for 2 minutes to thicken.
- To serve, place a scoop of coconut rice in each bowl, top with chicken, and drizzle with glaze. Garnish with optional toppings like cilantro, lime, coconut flakes, and green onions.

Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Store leftovers separately to retain texture.
